*Hi Everyone, Thanks Davor for starting the discussion around the state of
the Apache Beam in 2017[1]. In this fork of that conversation, I’d like to
continue the dialogue around how should we grow our community in alignment
to the project's vision, goals & values.Here are some areas and prompts to
guide the conversation. If there are other ideas related to community
growth missing here, please add them in this thread as well. 1. New users:
How could the community help potential and new users learn about Beam? How
can we support questions from users better?2. New contributors: What are
our contributions Best Practices and how can we share them with new
members? How could the community help new contributors ramp up faster in
our Project’s dev environment? How could we empower new developers to
contribute to Beam’s core features? 3. Community engagement: What type of
activities and efforts would you like to see to increase our community
engagement?4. Events: What events should we attend? What events should we
sponsor? How could we support community led events better?5. Brand
building: What efforts do you think we should do to build our brand? What
use cases, ideas, talks, etc. should we collaborate on to give the project
more visibility?If there’s interest, I’d also be happy to host a virtual
meeting for anyone who’d prefer that avenue of discussion and will make
sure that any new ideas or details are brought back to the discussion
threads after that. Express interest in a virtual meeting in this thread so
I can coordinate.Thanks, and let’s make this an exciting community!Gris
